Repatriate the neglected one at Steamtown. She’s there for the taking and rebuilding.

This engine and 2929 shared the Toronto , Hamilton local in the early fifties along the lakeshore using running rights. They also worked the Goderich passenger run. This help clean the the flues and front end. They worked much harder on the hill and dale route and especially coming up hill out of Goderich and Hamilton. These hand bombers were well designed for short local and fast trains. And yes I think one would make a great excursion/tourist engine
